Not for war internecine America's call, 

For from that we have won a most happy exemption; 
But for peace and protection, prosperity, all 

Long assailed but not lost beyond honor's redemption. 
For the chiefs of Democracy, false to their trust, — 
False, or craven, — have brought our fair fame to the dust ; 
Then arouse, O, ye voters! strike well for the cause, 
For America's right, for American laws. — Cko. 

Do ye listen the voices that urge us to save 
Stricken Cuba, where now there is direful confusion? 

O remember Hawaii — that queen of the wave. 
And our banner insulted by folly's collusion; 

See incompetence striving our coffers to fill. 

By the spendthrift's resort, by his blundering skill ; 

These and more point the duties devolving on you, 

O, Republican voters! the loyal and true. — Cho.

1. The pub - lie voice is call - ing For some trust-worthy chief, To save our cred- it 




fall - ing, And bring us quick re-lief From those who sail, for pluu - der, The good old 




Ship of State; Who steer by rule of blun - dor, And V)y the chart of fate. 
Chorhs. I 




This strong and wise provision 

Should be our constant crre: 
Meet foreign competition 

With tariffs just and fair. 
Broad are the fields of labor. 

And love should share their spoil; 
But he is not good neighbor 

Who thrives by pauper toil. — Cno. 

Our workman's strong salvation, 

Is what his hands can do ; 
He earns our approbation, 

And honest money, too. 



Why should the foreign spindles 
Our shops with fabrics fill, 

Wliile home-jn-oduction dwindles, 
But not from lack of skill ? — Cho. 

America for freemen, 

Who know their duty well; 
Our ships are for her seamen 

Who tales of honor tell. 
Press off the sails that wing us, 

More than our need demands; 
Turn back the keels that bring us, 

The bad of other lands. — Cho.

And God will listen your appeal.

Beneath our glorious flag again. 

For victory! for victory! 
March on! march on, patriot men! 

To victory! to victory! 
Ohio's wise and worthy son, 
Whose deeds are always grandly done, 
Shall lead our hosts, till we have won 

The victory! the victory!

Pause ever for reflection, 

Before you take a jump; 
By making wise selection, 

You may avoid a stump. 
Take not advice unkindly ; 

With honest counsel close; 
Else you may stumble blindly, 

And wreck a goodly nose. 

Extremests who would lead you, 

Have purpose, you will find; 
Tliey call because they need you, 

And "have an axe to grind." 
The chestnuts they are roasting, 

Are hot, beyond a doubt ; 
The Jackoes sly are boasting 

That you shall claw them out. 



4 The chiefs who shout for silver, 

Are men of dangerous mood ; 
They are too sharp to pilfer, 

As that is understood. 
Their scheme consists in seeking 

Their game in legal line ; 
Their tnl), perhaps, is leaking — 

Perhaps they own a mine! 

5 The good old phrase remember : 

"Let well enough alone!" 
And study till Novemlier 

Safe movement of your own. 
If tempter talk, talk harder 

To learn what he's about ; 
Put padlock on the larder, 

And starve the devil out.

MY COUNTRY'S HONOR. 

By James M. Stewart. 
Air: "The Old Oaken Bucket." 

O dearer than life is the weal of my nation, 

Her glory untarnished, nor blighted her name ; 
Ever tirst rnav she stand in the great congregation 

Of those who deem honor the handmaid ot fame. 
With efforts devoted to bless and sustain her, 

Mav all her true children their labors unite. 
That homes mav be happy, each member the gainer 

lu all that pertains to the blessing ot light. 
Chorus— rote for McKinlei/ ; vote for McKlnley, 
And all shall he well with the dear ones at home. 

O land of the fathers whose blood and whose treasure 

Bought honor for thee in the hour of thy birth, 
What pen can describe and what genius can measure 

Thine influence felt in all nations of Earth ! 
And this shall we barter for what is ideal— 

The dream of the soi)liist, as false as unwise, 
Whose pictures, so vivid, are vague and unreal 

As those which are painted in vanishing dyesf 
Chorus— vote for McKinJei/ ; vote for McKinJey, 
And all shall be well with the dear ones at home. 

Her eagle in white, the Mv pledge of her honor. 

Now threatens the world with unlimited brood. 
Whose flight may send legions of vampires upon her. 

To gorge and to batten on anarchy's food. 
Shall we her true guardians permit the great danger, 

The menace of evil wherever they roam 1 
\nd what of the face we shall show to the stranger 

Who comes to our shore in his search for a home . 

Chorus— rote for McKinley ; vote for McKinky, 

And all shall he well with the dear ones at home. 

Stay. Father! O stay the wild flood that is pouring 

For silver such vapid and sham eloquence, 
Whose luouthings of sentiment crazily soaring, 

Oflff^nd by avoidance of plain common sense. 
O grant that all people who listen may wonder 

Why such inane nothings are spoken aloud, 
Like the sophomore's rant— intellectual thunder. 

While tho'ts, non-electric, are scarce in the cloud. 
Chorus— vote for McKinley; vote for McKinley, 
And all shall he well with the dear ones at home.

What Vietopy by the Hepablieans mill fttean. 



When Senator Jolin M. Thurston became Chairman of the ever-memorable 
National Republican Convention at St. Louis (June, 1S96,) he made the 
following address. It was the speech of the Convention. One who heard it 
said : " Tlie terse, incisive sentences came like solid shot, producing a power- 
ful effect, and rousing a thrill of tremendous enthusiasm." They were, indeed, 
'• words fitly spoken," for in these epigramatic, crj stal clear, and fervently 
forceful sentences are embodied the high ideals which the Republican party 
has ever striven to maintain ; and— as we judge the future by the past— a copy 
of these words should be given to every voter in this broad land with this 
injunction: — 

"Read and remember that this is what victory by the Republicans in 
November will v\^z.Vi,— judged by their record in the past.'" 

The following is Senator Thurston's great speech in full:— 

Gcntlemeu of the Convention : The happy memory of your kindness and confidence will 
abide in my grateful heart forever. My sole amliitiou is to meet your expectations, and I 
plcdg2 myself to exercise the important powers of this high office with absohUejur^tice and 
imp:irtiality. I bespeak your cordial co-operation and support to the end that our proceedings 
may be orderly and dignified, as befits the deliberations of the supreme council of the Republi- 
can party. .... 
Eight years ago I had the distinguished honor to preside over the convention which 
nominated the last Republican President of the United States. To-day I have the further 
di tin niished honor to preside over the convention which is to nominate the next President 
of th-' United States. This generation has had its object lesson, and the doom of the 
Democratic party is already pronounced. The American people will return the Republican 
party to power because they know that its administration will mean : 
The supremacy of the Constitution of the United States. 
The maiuteuance of law and order. 

The protection of every American citizen in his right to live, to labor and to vote. 
A vigorous foreign policy. 
The enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. 
The restoration of our merchant marine. 

Safety under the Stars and Stripes on every sea, in every port. 

A revenue adequate for all governmental expenditures, and the gradual extinguishment of 
the national debt. 

A currency " as sound as the Government and as untarnished as its honor," whose dollars, 
whether of gold, silver or paper, shall have equal purchasing and debt-paying power with the 
best dollars of the civilized world. 

A protective tariff which protects, coupled with a reciprocity which reciprocates, securing 
American markets for American products and opening American factories to the free coinage 
of American muscle. 

A pension policy just and generous to our living heroes and to the widows and orphans of 
their dead comrades 

The governmental supervision and control of transportation lines and rates. 
The protectioa of the people from all unlawful combinations and unjust exactions of 
aggregated capital and corporate power. 

An American welcome to every God-fearing, liberty-loving, Constitution-respecting, law- 
abiding, labor-saeking, decent man. 

The exclusion of all whose birth, whose blood, whose conditions, whose teachings, who^e 
practices, would menace the permanancy of free institutions, endanger the safety of American 
society, or lessen the opportunities of American labor. 

The abolition of sectionalism— every star in the fiag shining for the honor and welfare and 
happiness of every commonwealth and of all the people. 

A deathless loyalty to all that is truly American and a patriotism eternal as the stars.
